My first Holiday party last night... No Xmas trees in sight!
It was for Ka'anapali Golf Club...It was at The Maui Sherton Resort. They had a casino night and Kids area and me all at once...
5 - 9pm
5 - 6:30 cocktails and pupus
6:30 Slide show, this took forever becuase they patched it into the house sound, and of course when time came, nobody from the "House" was around! LOL,,, then it sounded horrible, once they got it going. They also used the house sound for announcments.. well they did at first, when people started yelling "we can't hear you", I gave them my mic... people cheered,,,LOL
6:50 during the slide show they opened up buffet dinner..
7:10 awards.. these were suppose to be done at 6:30!
7:45 Casino and Kid Game area opens, this was suppose to happen at 7!
I played music that people could have danced to, but they didn't, no biggie, this is the 3rd year I have done them and they never dance, the kids play games, and so do the adults!
But I keep it lively and fun, setting the tone for a fun all around night.
9pm, everything closes... now because of how late everything ran, they did their casino awards a tad late, I didn't charge them for hanging an extra 20 mins so they could use my mic and I could prvide bumper music for the awards.
I did have some mic problems and I think I might have a problem with my mic channel on my mixer which is why, in the pic, you see my back up wired mic on a stand at my gear...
I took a pic of the gear on the way out.. 3 trips,,, not bad for me all on wheels and I have a ramp for the van.
There is a Maui Invitational Basketball Tourney in town and so that is what that sign is for. I don't know much about B-Ball, but it's a big deal here.
As usual, I get to venues early and I have a chance to walk around outside by the beach and take a few "VIEWS"... so I hope you enjoy them and that you don't get offended...
